Mario Nieto has released Novagrid, available for $19.00. There’s a discount of $12.34 for Newsletter subscribers – check your emails. An iPadOS version is in development.
NovaGrid is a creative multi-effect built for movement. It gives you four independent sequenced lanes—Bitcrusher, Filter, Volume, and Pan—so your sound can evolve with rhythm, intention, and surprise.
Each lane has its own step engine, timing, and patterns, letting you create anything from subtle motion to full-on glitchy transformations. Want everything to breathe together? Link lanes for grouped control and fast experimentation. Found something special? Lock what matters, then push further with randomization without losing the vibe.
And when you want a completely different character in one second: reorder the FX chain. NovaGrid lets you drag and rearrange the processing order, instantly reshaping tone, groove, and texture.
NovaGrid is modulation you can play. Build motion, discover happy accidents, and shape them into something solid—without breaking your flow.
Features include:
- 4 sequenced FX lanes: Bitcrusher, Filter, Volume, Pan
- Independent rhythm per lane: steps, speed, and patterns per effect
- Lane linking: drive multiple lanes together for synced results
- Lock + random: explore safely and keep what works
- Reorder the chain: drag & drop the FX order to redesign the sound instantly
- Designed for fast creative flow—from sketch to finished groove
